In a counter-protest, opposition leaders continued their demonstration against the centre raising slogans of "Amit Shah Jawab Do" (Amit Shah, provide an answer).
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a blistering attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, questioning the government's accountability for the alleged use of excessive force, including lathis and pellet guns, against student protesters across the country.
Earlier, student protesters in Jharkhand staged a demonstration outside the state Assembly in Ranchi over their demands and alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations.
The Congress has been demanding accountability over the treatment of protesting students and has criticised the use of force against demonstrators.
Priyanka Gandhi's demand that Amit Shah make a statement came as the Opposition sought to put the Jharkhand student protests and the alleged police action at the centre of the parliamentary debate.
